Midday Update on Cindy...

What a convoluted system she is…a still exposed (lack of storms) center, but worse yet she has multiple centers that are rotating around a large circulation that (to me) appears to have come to a halt once again over the NW Gulf.  This slowdown in movement keeps Cindy over water   and that is keeping active feeder bands coming in from the Gulf.  One band has set up from Grand Isle northward up Barataria Bay right across metro NOLA.  Cells are moving up the band, but the training of cells is setting up the potential for flooding rains this afternoon.  In addition, we have a threat for quick lived, fast moving small tornadoes.  I’ll be curious to see if NHC is seeing this slowdown in forward motion.  If true, we could stay in strong south winds,  high tides & minor flooding into Friday!    Their next update comes out at 1 PM.  I’ll have an expanded blog update later tonight.

Bob, after listening to you and trusting in your forecasts for so long, I find it hard to find confidence in any other meteorologist. You have done a fine job! Thanks for all you have done and continue to do for Louisiana.

I have noticed that the pressure keeps dropping does this mean it is strengthening?
